Yesterday, on 11th October, 200 people came together at Nordale Pagalms in Rīga to celebrate the autumn season around a specially baked, six-metre-long apple pie.
"Created in collaboration with chef Raimonds Zommers and restaurant Entresol, the pie became the centrepiece of a relaxed Sunday afternoon, bringing together local residents, families and visitors to enjoy seasonal treats, activities and time spent together," said a description of the pie's genesis provided by organizers of the king-sized fruity bake.
Alongside the six-metre-long creation, visitors could take part in a range of activities, including intriguing sounding "apple croquet". The celebration also marked the conclusion of an apple pie recipe competition, which invited people to share their favourite recipes on social media. The main prize offered the opportunity to host a private event at Nordale Pagalms, whether apple-themed or not.
Inspired by Copenhagen’s public courtyards and outdoor meeting spaces, Nordale Pagalms is a residential complex located near Biķernieki forest. The courtyard is open to local residents and visitors alike, and offers a setting for informal gatherings, seasonal celebrations and private events.
